In Japan and South Korea there is deepening concern over the reliability of long-time American security guarantees – whether the U.S. will come to their aid in the event of a war. This has been turbo-charged by Donald Trump’s tough treatment of traditional U.S. allies, which has some in Tokyo and Seoul calling for a reassessment of their non-nuclear policies.
As an American, I don’t trust Trump to come to America’s aid. I’d be sweeting bullets if I was Korea and Japan.
Well the US did promise to come to Ukraine’s aid if they gave up their nukes…and here we are.
If Trump had still been president in 2022, I highly doubt we would have come to Ukraine’s aid in any substantial way.
